Final Priesthood Chapter 326

Chapter 326 The legendary phoenix

 The azure shuttle refracted its gem-like luster in the sunlight, like a graceful deep-sea fish, hovering quietly in the gray-white open space.

 The shuttle door opened, and a slender and tall figure appeared.

Lu Yuan's eyes flashed and he stepped forward to meet the visitor.

The nano-arms on his body automatically changed form, from a casual outfit of thin down and jeans to a black, close-fitting one-piece combat suit.

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

The handsome young man standing at the door of the shuttle cabin greeted Lu Yuan with a smile.

Lu Yuan smiled slightly at him and sighed: "I didn't expect that you would be the one to pick me up."

“I didn't expect that the person I was asked to pick up was actually you.”

 The young man shrugged and replied.

 Lan Chen.

 The visitor is Lan Chen.

It was the flying bear that Lu Yuan encountered for the first time when he was walking like an elephant god. He was ordered by Yu Wentong to hide in the dark and plunder the formation for him.

 Afterwards, Lu Yuan wrote him a note - "The boy who wants to take credit".

Lu Yuan really didn't expect that after getting Yu Wentong's permission to enter the secret realm of “Mountain of Embers”, this would be the person who came to pick him up.

Hitomi-sama, is there no one else under your command?

 It seems that there really isn't one

Lu Yuan followed Lan Chen onto his shuttle.

The shuttle took off slowly. Lan Chen sat down on the soft sofa and greeted Lu Yuan: "Sit wherever you want, don't be restrained, just treat yourself as your own home. It's a long way."

Lan Chen has an out-of-the-box personality and is relatively informal.

Lu Yuan was not polite to him. He said "hmm" and then found a place to sit down.

After sitting down, I occasionally caught a glimpse of the flying bear logo on Lan Chen's left chest, and unexpectedly discovered that an extra pair of wings appeared on the back of the little golden bear with wings.

 “Have you had a breakthrough?”

Lu Yuan was slightly surprised.

 The mental energy dispersed slightly, and he felt the aura on Lan Chen's body.

It was discovered that his spiritual power was indeed stronger and more condensed than before. According to Huang Xiong's internal classification standards, he had reached the second level of spiritual light.

“Yes, it has been stuck for many years, and it's time to break through...”

Lan Chen replied with emotion, but there was not much joy on his face, and his expression was rather complicated.

Lu Yuan felt his fluctuating emotions, his heart moved slightly, and he said one word: "Mountain of Embers?!"

Lan Chen glanced at him and nodded.

"right.

 It was during this exploration of Ember Mountain that I made a breakthrough..."

“But I don't think you are happy.”

“If you'd been through what I was going through, you wouldn't be happy about the breakthrough..”

Lan Chen sighed softly and spoke, his eyes full of loneliness and complexity.

“Have you read the list of martyrs on No. 8, where many people died in that battle?

 At that time, if it were not

 My name will probably appear on it too. "

Lu Yuan looked slightly solemn and asked: "Is the Mountain of Embers really that dangerous?"

Lan Chen raised his head and looked at him, "What do you think of the legendary secret realm?

 It's many times more dangerous than you think.

 There are real blood descendants of the phoenix in the Mountain of Embers.”

 “Phoenix blood descendant?”

This was the first time Lu Yuan heard this word and he sat upright.

At this time, the shuttle buzzed into the clouds, and a large amount of white mist flowed outside the window beside the two of them.

"Um.

　　It is more powerful and difficult to deal with than the ordinary acolytes of gods, because it inherits part of the characteristics of the phoenix and is extremely difficult to kill.

They have been multiplying in the Ember Mountain for a long time and are very aggressive towards outsiders like us..."

Lan Chen said a few words briefly, and then added seriously: "However, the most dangerous place in Ember Mountain is not these indigenous blood descendants, but the terrifying and taboo places where the lingering power of the Phoenix remains.

Sometimes it looks like an ordinary pit from the outside, but after you walk up it, the next second it will suddenly eject magma flames that can melt earth-level mechas.

 Do you know what material the earth-level mecha is made of? "

Lu Yuan remained silent, feeling a hint of fear from Lan Chen's words.

These emotions slowly refracted the outline of the Mountain of Embers in his mind.

Lu Yuan felt that he had underestimated the words "legendary secret realm" before.

 Maybe it's because Xiang Mystery Realm is known as sub-legendary, and he didn't feel too much pressure after completing it all the way through.

But if you think about it carefully, there are only three supernova members in the Xiang Mysterious Realm. The Mountain of Embers has been opened before, and it has also led to joint actions by major supernatural organizations in the world.

 So far, four light supernovae have died.

It can be seen from this that the difference in danger between the two is indeed very large, very large.

“Honestly, I'm wondering why Mr. Hitomi would allow you to go?”

Lan Chen smiled bitterly and said: "In that kind of place, the SS level is just like cannon fodder, and the SSS level is also walking on thin ice. It must have at least a third level of combat power to be truly qualified to carry out a certain degree of exploration and harvest.

 But the risk of falling is also high.

 What is your current strength assessment level? "

Lu Yuan was silent for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know, I haven't been evaluated for a long time."

Lan Chen pretended that he just didn't want to say anything, because things like combat power were relatively private, so he didn't ask any more questions.

However, I still have some judgment about Lu Yuan's strength in my heart.

Lu Yuan is really not sure about his current strength level.

Taking the Xilin who was beaten violently by him in the Mysterious Realm as a unit, if he activates [Three Flowers] normally, he can probably beat him 50-50.

If you switch to the Mingwang stance, you can crush the opponent in different ways.    If the [Demon] form is turned on.

　　It's hard to calculate how far it is.

He has too many methods that can increase his combat power. If several methods are combined, his combat power will increase exponentially.

 The potential of multi-professional panel stacking was gradually developed, and sometimes the strength soared so much that even Lu Yuan himself felt scared.

“This time the Mountain of Embers has gathered a large number of masters on the combat power rankings, and it's just a good opportunity to understand my current strength position...”

Lu Yuan was thinking about it, but Lan Chen seemed to have lost interest in continuing the conversation at this moment.

He took out a bottle of wine from somewhere and poured it into his mouth one by one while facing the window with a rather melancholy look in his eyes.

The road was far away and it was not easy to disturb him, so he lay down on his seat and casually browsed the forum to pass the boring time.

The entrance to the Ember Mountain Secret Realm is on the other side of the planet. Even if they take a shuttle, it will take them more than ten hours.

 Lu Yuan was casually scrolling through posts when he suddenly received a series of messages.

Clicking on it, I found that it was from Lan Chen.

 He turned his head in surprise.

Lan Chen, who was sitting by the window opposite, raised his chin at him and said, "I'll send you some top-secret information within the exploration team. Remember not to spread it out."

Lu Yuan's eyes moved and he quickly clicked on the message sent by Lan Chen to check it.

 A map of the secret realm of Ember Mountain. Most of the areas on it are black.

  Light up only a small area in the lower left corner.

 However, it is such a small area, and there are at least forty red circles densely drawn in it.

Each red circle represents what Lan Chen just said - a "forbidden place".

 Then there are also some activity areas of the indigenous people in the secret realm, which are also marked.

Lu Yuan glanced at it, memorized the entire map in his mind, and then looked down.

 Following are several videos.

 The first video shows a large number of people surrounding a red fruit the size of a thumb.

This fruit looks like an olive, but is red all over, like iron that has been burned until it is transparent.

 The temperature is also frighteningly high.

The exploration team used a black box to pack it, but within two seconds the box was burned through by the fruit. When it fell to the ground, it directly ignited a large area of ​​turf. The amazing heat wave caused people around to retreat.

After changing several holding props, they were unable to contain the fruit. In the end, they were wrapped in an oval leaf as big as a palm before they could successfully take it away.

 “Legendary material?!”

 Lu Yuan's first reaction after watching the video was whether this fruit was a legendary material.

 Looking at this amazing vision, it seems that there is a high probability that it is.

 It's a pity that he doesn't know which organization took it away, and it's almost impossible for him to get it.

 The second video is equally astonishing and even more exaggerated than the first.

　　The video was shot from a very far away position. God knows how many times the camera device was zoomed in. All we could see was a crater-like place in the distance.

 In the middle surrounded by countless red magma, there is a golden grass growing with flames on its leaves.

 “This is definitely legendary!”

Lu Yuan felt confident the moment he saw the grass.

This golden grass looks really extraordinary, even more strange than the previous fruit.

 At a glance, people can think of words like "myth" and "legend".

“No wonder that as soon as the secret realm of Ember Mountain was opened, all the extraordinary organizations tried their best to explore it, and they did not hesitate to lose so many powerful people.

This secret realm is simply an unexplored mythical treasure, full of incredible wonders!

Maybe there really is a secret to the immortality of the Phoenix hidden here."

When Lu Yuanguang watched the video, he felt impatient and eager. You can imagine how those who saw these strange objects with their own eyes must feel.

Lan Chen said he was scared, but now he still dares to go in and continue exploring, which is enough to prove that there is indeed a great opportunity in the Mountain of Embers that can allow people to achieve nirvana and rebirth!

Lu Yuan took a breath to calm down his agitated mood.

 Then click on the last video sent by Lan Chen to view it.

As soon as the video was clicked, Lu Yuan's eyes were filled with a gorgeous fiery red.

 Lu Yuan's pupils shrank sharply, and finally he could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart and blurted out: “The legendary phoenix?!”

"have no idea."

Lan Chen's voice came to his ears, and he didn't seem surprised at all by Lu Yuan's reaction.

“It can only be said to be suspicious. After all, no one has ever seen the real phoenix. It is a mythical creature that only exists in legends.”

Lu Yuan didn't speak, he just stared at the video in front of him.

This video is very blurry, probably affected by certain evil energy fluctuations.

But you can still barely see that in the sky captured in the video, a big bird covered in orange flames is flying slowly and gracefully forward.

After the flaming bird went away, figures suddenly appeared in the video, chasing the flaming bird.

The video ends abruptly.

"The results of it?"

Lu Yuanyuan still had more to say, so he immediately turned around and asked Lan Chen, "Have you found this creature that looks like a phoenix?"

Lan Chen shook his head, "Of course not.

Not only that, many people died.

In the most recent list of martyrs, Kang Jiancheng, who was ranked fifty-third on the supernova list, died in this Phoenix incident. "

When Lan Chen said this, he paused for a moment, then frowned and said: "Actually, this creature that looks like a phoenix has appeared several times, and each time it caused the death of a large number of strong men.

It is said that seeing a phoenix represents good luck, right?

I suspect that this is not a phoenix at all, but an evil creature that is good at disguising itself and will bring disaster and misfortune wherever it goes.”
